About Allica Bank
Allica is the UK’s fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (Fintech) firm ever. Our purpose is to help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech.
Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.
Third Party Risk plays a critical role in ensuring Allica engages, oversees, and exits suppliers in a way that strengthens our resilience and consistently delivers high-quality outcomes. We manage the full third-party lifecycle with a focus on strong governance, transparent decision-making, and robust oversight. Acting as trusted partners across the business, we enable teams to work confidently and at pace with third parties, while ensuring risks are understood, controls are followed, and relationships are managed in line with Allica’s core values.
The Third-Party Risk Manager sits within the central risk function and is responsible for supporting the business in identifying, assessing, and managing risks associated with third-party relationships. The role works closely with stakeholders across the business, including subject matter experts (SMEs), to build a holistic view of third-party risk and ensure third parties are managed in line with internal policies, regulatory expectations, and risk appetite.
The Third-Party Risk Manager provides expert advice on third-party risk, supports effective risk-based decision-making, and helps embed strong third-party risk management practices across the bank.
Act as a subject matter expert on third-party risk management, providing guidance and challenge to the business on third-party related risks.
Liaise with subject matter experts across the business (e.g. Security, Risk, Legal, Finance Crime, Finance) to develop a comprehensive understanding of the overall risk profile of third parties.
Support the business in applying third-party risk management policies, frameworks, and standards consistently across the organisation.
Oversee and review third-party risk assessments, due diligence, and ongoing monitoring activities to ensure risks are identified, documented, and appropriately mitigated.
